The Walking Dead

[morpheus]

I liked it. There wasn't any bitching about who's in charge or what should we do next or any of that bullplop that weighed down last season and the plot wasn't driven by someone being a moron. They're working together as a team with defined roles and it's resulting in some serious zombie carnage.

One thing though - can you get infected if you get zombie blood in your mouth? That came to mind when they were messily impaling zombie brains inches away from their own faces.

Remember from the end of last season: they're all infected anyway.

Some might call that a GAME CHANGER.

Yeah but that just meant that they would become zombies if they died. What I'm asking is - does drinking zombie buttspray immediately turn you into a zombie? Or is getting bitten the only way?

I recall them believing so early on, but they've been practically bathing in the stuff since the middle of the first season or so.

That's what I was thinking as well, that is, aside from the accidental mouth-spray, this stuff has to be seeping into their pores and/or inhaled at some point.

They may be eating cat food and owl, but at least they still have a ready supply of beverage straws. And garish silencers.

Flannj: the Huey of firearm accessory nomenclature?

I would also note that although the lights were on in the yard, nobody appears to have availed himself of one of the switches inside.

There appear now to be two "moons." /gilspoiler

I demand a T-Dog-centric episode sometime soon.  As a concession to this demand, this episode may also contain the seemingly inevitable Governor-Andrea ugly-bumping that was prefigured by the Shane-Andrea Hyundai sesh in season 2.  But nothing more that isn't T-Dog!!

Additionally, we're going to see a Merle/Daryl shootout at some point, aren't we?

[Slaky]

So far I think it's great. I like that they're opening up other parts of the world and stories from other camps. That's what this show needed. And more zombie murdering. It's done that, too.

That'll hopefully get interesting.

Maybe I've just got Star Wars on the mind, but I'm kind of feeling like...

Daryl : Merle : The Governor :: Luke : Vader : The Emperor

I am dense but what was with the aquarium of zombie heads?

I took it as a sign that the Governor has been collecting the heads of people who opposed him and enjoyed sadistically looking at them.

As an aside, the comics (while providing for the basic premise and some of the character construction) are not driving the story at this point.  The discovery of the prison and the introduction of Woodbury occurred much later in the comics compared to the show.

Nevertheless, I like where the season has been going so far.

But please, let Lori die sometime soon.  Perhaps being pushed to far by T-Dog, who eventually snaps and shoots her in the face.  The remainder of the survivors would then celebrate joyously.
